to 2000 gallons per minute during the initial stages of each pit and, after one month, the rate <br />should drop to less than 700 gallons per minute. Gravel filter berms will be used in the pits to <br />reduce sedimentation and the both the lakes and the sediment pond will further reduce the <br />sediment for discharge. The pond will have a manually operated gate controlling the discharge. <br />Elam will receive a combined storm water process and process water discharge permit <br />specifically for sand and gravel mining for this site. The pond discharge enters the Ana Branch <br />north of the permit area. <br />All discharges from pumping water will be regulated under a combined storm water/process <br />water permit that is being approved by the Colorado Department of Public Health and <br />Environment. If the water quality is out of compliance, water will not be discharged until it is in <br />compliance. <br />Gehrman Pit October 09 G-2
